Review
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. just a tech book about dancingBy Joanne LaverdetI am a huge fan of autobiographies/biographies. however. I was very disappointed with this one; in fact. after attempting to get involved with Len Goodmans story by reading at least 1/2 of the book. I was utterly bored and disappointed. The book does give credance to his family history. however.it begins to bore you with the technical aspect of ballroom dancing including his long personal history of his beginnings and continuation of his climb up the ballroom judging ladder.. in fact. that is what makes up most of the book. I ended up putting the book down as it caused me frustration which is opposite of what other autobiograhpies/biographies offer me...dont waste your money; in fact I paid more for this book than I normally would and regret it0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun if youre a fan of Dancing With the Stars or Strictly Come DancingBy J Bob ShuIm DWTS addict and it was fun to learn more about Goodman. He writes using lots of British slang. which was fun to read since Id lived for a time in the UK. Would have liked to learn more inside info about the American pros and judges. but all in all a fine read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy Burton D. FrinkCharming man.
